Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a chip-scale packaging light-emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a chip-scale packaging light-emitting device using a green quantum dot material and a red phosphor material, and a method of manufacturing the same thereof.
  • a quantum dot (QD) material encompasses a semiconductor nano-crystal material with its particle size usually between about 1 nm and about 50 nm. While being irradiated by a high-energy-level light, due to Quantum confinement effect, a quantum dot material can convert a portion of incident light into another lower-energy-level visible light. Therefore, a quantum dot material can be used as a photoluminescent material. By changing the particle size, shape or material composition of the quantum dot material, the quantum dot material can emit visible light of different wavelength. That is, the spectrum of light emission can be tuned by changing the particle size of the quantum dot material.
  • a quantum dot material Compared to other phosphor materials, such as yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) phosphor, Nitride or Oxynitride phosphor, a quantum dot material has a significantly narrower Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of its emission spectrum. Therefore, when using a quantum dot material with a light-emitting diode (LED) semiconductor chip to form a light-emitting device as a backlight source for a liquid crystal display (LCD), the color purity can be further improved.
  • YAG yttrium aluminum garnet
  • Nitride or Oxynitride phosphor Nitride or Oxynitride phosphor
  • FWHM Full Width at Half Maximum
  • the LCD display using a quantum dot material as a color-converted light source can have up to 90% of the color gamut in BT.2020 standard.
  • quantum dot materials are inorganic materials with a longer service lifetime relative to the light-emitting organic materials used in OLED displays.
  • the light-emitting device using the quantum dot material can directly replace the backlight source of the LCD without significantly changing the design of a display module. That is, changing the photoluminescent material can significantly increase the color gamut range of the LCD.
  • a light-emitting device using a quantum dot material has many advantages, there are still some problems to be improved or overcome in practice.
  • the thermal stability of quantum dot materials is poor, and their performance is significantly degraded when operated in high-temperature environments (e.g., environments greater than 70 ° C). Therefore, the heat generated during the operation of the LED semiconductor chip may greatly attenuate the performance of the quantum dot material.
  • the light-emitting device using the quantum dot material should have a good moisture barrier protection against penetration of external water vapor and oxygen into and coming in contact with the quantum dot material so as to make the light-emitting device have a longer service lifetime.
  • a quantum dot material in the presence of oxygen or moisture in the surroundings, when a quantum dot material is excited by an incident light of a higher energy level, such as an ultraviolet (UV) light or a blue light, a photo-oxidation reaction process is more likely to occur, causing a significant decrease in luminous intensity and "blue shifting" of the photoluminescent spectrum emitted from the quantum dot material.
  • an incident light of a higher energy level such as an ultraviolet (UV) light or a blue light
  • UV light or a blue light a photo-oxidation reaction process is more likely to occur, causing a significant decrease in luminous intensity and "blue shifting" of the photoluminescent spectrum emitted from the quantum dot material.
  • a semiconductor material with a large surface area such as a quantum dot nano-particle material
  • the semiconductor material generates a large amount of electrons and holes due to a photovoltaic effect.
  • the excited free electrons make oxygen molecules surrounding the surface of the semiconductor material prone to be dissociated to form oxygen plasmas and oxygen ions, which promote the oxidation reaction of the semiconductor material to form oxides.
  • Descriptions and experimental verifications on the photo-oxidation reaction phenomenon of the electron-active semiconductor materials have been published by Young EM in 1988 Appl. Phys. A 47:259-69 and Sato S. et. al. in 1997 J. Appl. Phys. 81:1518 .
  • a quantum dot material will significantly accelerate its oxidation reaction under the irradiation of a high-energy-level light.
  • the oxidation reaction process on the surface of quantum dot nano-particles will reduce the effective particle size of the quantum dot material.
  • the converted light by quantum dot photoluminescent material of a smaller particle size can generate an even higher-energy-level light (shorter wavelength). Therefore, surface oxidation of the quantum dot material will shift its photoluminescent spectrum toward a shorter wavelength, resulting in a so-called "blue shifting" phenomenon.
  • generation of oxides will create more structural defects on the quantum dots, and the structural defects will cause the electrons and holes to undergo a non-radiative electron-hole recombination during the photoluminescent process.
  • the quantum dot material when the quantum dot material is configured to be used in an LED light-emitting device, it is desired to prevent the quantum dot material from being irradiated by an excessively high-energy-level light, thereby avoiding light attenuation caused by the photo-oxidation phenomenon and blue shifting of the photoluminescent spectrum.
  • a quantum dot-based color-converted light-emitting device generally should have the quantum dot materials uniformly dispersed inside a polymer matrix material to achieve good luminous efficiency and good uniformity.
  • quantum dot materials can be uniformly dispersed inside and compatible with the commonly used polymer matrix materials. It is usually desired to surface-modify the quantum dot material, for example, to form a ligand, in order to uniformly disperse quantum dots in a specific polymer matrix. Therefore, surface modification, selection of proper polymer matrix materials, and manufacturing process compatibility between different polymer matrix materials in fabricating a quantum dot-based color-converted light emitting device have also become important technical challenges.
  • a light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element configured to emit blue light, a first wavelength conversion member containing a Mn4+-activated fluorine complex phosphor, and a second wavelength conversion member containing a quantum-dot phosphor, in which the first wavelength conversion member and the second wavelength conversion member are spatially separated from each other.
  • EP3154095 discloses A light emitting device, including an LED semiconductor die (10), a photoluminescent structure (20) and a reflector (30)
  • One object of some embodiments of the present disclosure is to provide a quantum dot-based color-converted light-emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the light-emitting device is a chip-scale packaging light-emitting device using a flip-chip LED semiconductor chip, and has a low thermal resistance with superior heat dissipation path to reduce the junction temperature of the LED semiconductor chip. Therefore, the disclosed light-emitting device can effectively improve the thermal attenuation of the quantum dot material by reducing the operating temperature of the quantum dot material.
  • Another object of some embodiments of the present disclosure is to provide a quantum dot-based color-converted light-emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the light-emitting device provides a good hermetic seal as a moisture barrier to reduce or avoid water vapor and/or oxygen from the outside ambience to reach the quantum dot material, thereby effectively reducing the oxidation reaction process of the quantum dot material.
  • Another object of some embodiments of the present disclosure is to provide a quantum dot-based color-converted light-emitting device, wherein a less readily photo-oxidized phosphor material is disposed as an inner layer toward an LED semiconductor chip, and a more readily photo-oxidized quantum dot material is disposed as an outer layer away from the LED semiconductor chip. Therefore, the light intensity of a high-energy-level incident light emitted from the LED semiconductor chip is partially shielded by the less readily photo-oxidized phosphor material first before radiating on the more readily photo-oxidized quantum dot material. Specifically, the incident light intensity is reduced by the less readily photo-oxidized phosphor material first so as not to exceed the intensity threshold that the quantum dot material can sustain, thereby mitigating the photo-oxidation reaction process of the quantum dot material.
  • Another object of the present disclosure which is not forming part of the present invention is to provide a method for fabricating a quantum dot-based color-converted light-emitting device.
  • the polymer matrix material configured for binding the phosphor material has different material properties compared with the polymer matrix material configured for binding the quantum dot material.
  • the proper material curing processes may also be different between these two polymer matrix materials, for example, a thermal curing process vs. an UV curing process.
  • the light-emitting device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is specified to effectively isolate the polymer matrix material used for binding the quantum dot material and the polymer matrix material used for binding the phosphor material, thereby avoiding curing process incompatibility or material incompatibility of the two polymer matrix materials.
  • the light-emitting device includes: a flip-chip LED semiconductor chip configured for providing a primary light, wherein the primary light is a blue light, a deep blue light, a violet light or an UV light; and a photoluminescent structure disposed on a chip-upper surface of the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip, wherein the photoluminescent structure includes a first photoluminescent layer, an optically transparent isolation layer, a second photoluminescent layer, and an optically transparent moisture barrier layer.
  • the stacking sequence of the photoluminescent structure is as follows.
  • the optically transparent isolation layer is disposed on the first photoluminescent layer; the second photoluminescent layer is disposed on the optically transparent isolation layer; and the optically transparent moisture barrier layer is disposed on the second photoluminescent layer, wherein the first photoluminescent layer comprises a first polymer matrix material and a lower-excitation-energy-level phosphor material (for example, a red light emitting or a red phosphor material) dispersed inside the first polymer matrix material.
  • the second photoluminescent layer comprises a second polymer matrix material and a higher-excitation-energy-level quantum dot material (for example, a green light emitting or a green quantum dot material) dispersed inside the second polymer matrix material.
  • a moisture-barrier reflective structure covers a photoluminescent-side surface of the photoluminescent structure and a chip-edge surface of the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip and does not cover the lower electrode surface of the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip.
  • the lower-excitation-energy-level phosphor material of the first photoluminescent layer is used to firstly convert a portion of a higher-energy-level incident primary light (e.g., a blue light) into a lower-energy-level secondary light (e.g., a converted red light) such that the intensity of the unconverted portion of the higher-energy-level primary light (e.g., the blue light) is reduced to be no greater than the intensity of a higher-energy-level light that a quantum dot material (such as a green quantum dot material) can sustain without exacerbating a photo-oxidation reaction process.
  • a quantum dot material such as a green quantum dot material
  • the method for fabricating a light-emitting device may include: laminating a photoluminescent structure to a flip-chip LED semiconductor chip; and forming a moisture-barrier reflective structure to cover a photoluminescent-side surface of the photoluminescent structure and a chip-edge surface of the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip.
  • the second photoluminescent layer is disposed as an outer layer above the first photoluminescent layer relative to the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip, so that a portion of the primary light emitted by the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip will firstly be converted by the first photoluminescent layer, so as to reduce the intensity of the higher-energy-level primary light radiating on the quantum dot material (e.g., green quantum dot material) inside the second photoluminescent layer.
  • the quantum dot material e.g., green quantum dot material
  • the light intensity of the higher-energy-level primary light radiating on the quantum dot material is not greater than the light intensity that the quantum dot material can sustain without exacerbating a photo-oxidation reaction process of the quantum dot material.
  • the chip-scale packaging (CSP) light-emitting device can be used without a package lead frame. Therefore, under the same package volume, the CSP light-emitting device can have a larger light-emitting area. Therefore, the intensity of the primary light per unit area radiating to the quantum dot material can be effectively reduced to reduce the photo-oxidation reaction process of the quantum dot material.
  • Both of the optically transparent moisture barrier layer and the moisture-barrier reflective structure have low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), so that the external water vapor and oxygen will not readily penetrate into the light-emitting device to be in contact with the quantum dot material within the second photoluminescent layer. It can effectively avoid or reduce the oxidation reaction of quantum dot materials.
  • the optically transparent isolation layer separates the second photoluminescent layer from the first photoluminescent layer so that the two do not directly contact each other.
  • the second polymer matrix material used for binding a higher-excitation-energy-level quantum dot material (for example, a green quantum dot material) does not directly contact with the first polymer matrix material used for binding a lower-excitation-energy-level phosphor material (for example, a red phosphor material). Therefore, the material properties or process characteristics (such as a curing mechanism) of the two polymer matrix materials will not be interfered by each other.
  • the chip-scale packaging light-emitting device using the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip according to some embodiments of the present disclosure has a lower thermal resistance. Therefore, the junction temperature of the LED semiconductor chip can be effectively reduced.
  • the second photoluminescence layer comprising a quantum dot material is further away from the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip. Therefore, the heat generated by the flip-chip LED semiconductor chip has less influence on the quantum dot material by reducing the operating temperature of the quantum dot material, for example, about 50 °C or lower, about 40 °C or lower, or about 30 °C or lower. A lower operating temperature can effectively prevent thermal degradation of quantum dot materials.
  • the lower-excitation-energy-level phosphor material used in the first photoluminescent layer is a fluoride phosphor material (e.g., KSF or MGF).
  • the higher-energy-level light converted by a higher-excitation-energy-level quantum dot material (such as the converted green light) scattered backward toward KSF or MGF will effectively scatter outward, thereby increasing the overall light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting device.

  • the chip-edge-surface spacer structure 40 is specified to operate together with the reflective structure 30 to effectively reflect the primary light emitted from the chip-edge surface 103 of the LED semiconductor chip 10 into the PL structure 20, so that the primary light excites the PL structure 20 more uniformly, thereby reducing the blue light intensity per unit area. Therefore, the photo-oxidation phenomenon of the quantum dot material is reduced to increase its lifetime.
  • the technical details of the chip-edge-surface spacer structure 40 in conjunction with the reflective structure 30 can be further referred to the US Patent Application No. 15/877,329 (published as US 2018/0212118 ).

  • a cutting process can be immediately performed to directly separate the PL layer structure 20' into a plurality of PL structures 20.
